Superb Action Sci-Fi Twister with great moments!

Rating: 9/10 (28 February 2006)

From the first frame onward I loved this movie. Though others have said it was a well worn path we'd seen before in these kinds of films, I didn't care, mind or for that matter agree with them. This is a Saturday afternoon at the movies film with all the trimmings. Got it on Netflix and 24 hours later I bought it. It's one of those films you can have on in the background while you're messing around the house on the weekend -- clued into when the next cool scene will unfold, you take a break and watch it. I couldn't wait for the bad guy to get his. I was thrilled at the character development of the Security Officer. The action (or chase) sequences were top-notch. Perhaps I'm just a big boy and that's why I loved it. It did mix my favorite things together, there were twists and state-of-the-art bang-bang and I love that. As for acting--why were the critics so down on Ewan and Scarlett? They were believable and good enough to sustain themselves. So Mr. Bay you keep on trucking. Well written big ole dumb movie where you know the bad guys gonna get his!!
